SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind.

The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Depressing news. Taken from TVB Space News Roundup...

" [Ta Kung Pao 07/09/04]

Kwong Wa and his wife Kitman Mak made a rare appearance together for the premier of "Alien vs Predator" on Sunday. Kwong Wa explains that he is a big fan of the "Alien" series, so when he found out that this film was made by the original crew, then he had to come and watch it with his wife. When asked why he did not bring his son along, he says that it is too late and his children usually go to sleep at half past ten, because he feels that it is not good for children to go to sleep too late.

Talking of recent plans, he indicates that he has just ended his contract with TVB and not renewed because he wants to take some time out to rest as well as change the format of his work. He laughs that there are a lot of things he can do in the future, such as looking after his children because there is very little personal time when he is filming and now he can take this time to look at other things. When reminded he could only do this with enough financial backing, Kwong Wa indicated that both he and his wife are vegetarians and not big spenders with a simple life, so their expenses are not very large.

With recent magazine reports showing the couple buying bargain products, are they unhappy about this? Kwong Wa says that in fact he is very happy about this. He adds that if people talk about you, then you should not worry about whether it is a good thing or a bad thing because it shows they care about you. If they didn't then they would not bother talking about you. Also, showbiz magazines are there to bring entertainment for all, so if everything that was said is taken to heart then it would be difficult to live. As for whether he does often go bargain hunting, he says that he likes to pick up the odd bargain because he is just an ordinary person and does not have a lot of money. He feels that Hong Kong people nowadays like to measure a person's success by material means too much."

First Gallen left for more money. Felix is in semi-retirement to spend more time with his family and I suspect, to earn more money somewhere else and now Kong Wah is quitting to spend more time with his family and I suspect to earn more money elsewhere. The good ones are leaving, leaving us with the young ones who are brought in not to act, but to strut their stuff. Good actors in TVB are so rare these days, I think they're a dying breed. If Bowie says he is leaving, Roger says he is quitting, Bobby says he is retiring, you will see tears in this website. Where have all the charismatic, great actors gone? We the viewers suffer. I suffer. I am suffering. Truly a nightmare.

And talking about series, Legend of Love is laughable and unbefitting to the talent of the great Deric Wan, Greed Mask has more twists than plots (in fact everybody seems to confess to killing Ko Cheuk Man, probably the most murdered person in a TV series since everybody wants him dead - it's so silly, M Night will choke with tears of laughter at this series' emphasis of twists minus the actual plot to hold the twists) and The Wing of Desire is getting a bit melodramatic, but still a better watch.

New series coming, I look forward to Suvivor's Law. I saw the trailer for the young actors' series about swimmers, Aqua Heroes (is that the title?)or something like that and I thought I saw a swimmer BOUNCING on the water. I guess the review in my website is painting a very accurate picture when she was describing about the silly techniques. I don't think Ian Thorpe can even bounce like that. Illogical and I have a feeling badly acted. This series reminds me of those recent Taiwanese series, find two attractive young stars, put in some romance and some nice location, give it min storyline and just show it, irrespective whether the actors are acting or sleepwalking.

I need to get my sanity back. I need reviews. Submissions anyone? I will write. Take My Word For It, the reason why I still love TVB. Yep, take my word for it, new reviews coming soon.

Yes, Aqua Heroes seems to have many things against it. Silly misunderstanding, recycled plots, mediocre acting, illogical technical stuff and exagerated special effects. But I still find the series entertaining. This is mainly because of the interesting characters and their interactions with each other. It's not a series for deep analysis. Just enjoy the love and angst of the young cast. :)

I find Aqua Heros so stupid. The so called champion swimmers look like they don't even know how to swim. Come on, none of them look at the very least, atheletic. What happened to tanned skins and broad shoulders?!?

It is sad to hear that a lot of the veteran actors are leaving TVB. But I guess they would be more appreciated working with other companies since TVB is mistreating a lot of actors/actress. Joining China, Taiwan, etc. can probably give them more opportunities and exposure. Nowadays TVB doesn't seem to be promoting those with true talent. --- botan
